Henslaved Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi all, I have just been given permission to extend my run, but can't decide on what best to use for the roof. I have searched the photos on here and have seen both materials. Does anyone have any pros and cons for twin wall polycarbonate sheets or corrugated plastic sheets (except the massive price difference ) Many thanks in advance.

Redwing Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 If you use twin wall you'd need some sort of way of joining the bits, they probably sell T bar and beading to do this but its extra cost With the corrugated stuff you can overlap it to join it. Do pay out for the proper fixings though as they will stop leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks Redwing, I Have decided on twin wall, mainly because it's flat and easy to clean, as my run is under a hawthorn tree which tends to make things go green . It's under construction as I type, I have just nipped back to make a cuppa for me and my OH . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I think Egluntyne has that type of roof suppose it's a bit late to ask her for tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I do have the twin walled poly carbonated roof. It is fine. It did develop a small leak a while back, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a son, a set of ladders and some silicone squirty stuff.

rossco Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 make sure that you put the twin wall up the right way to stop the rays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Its clear polycarbonate, I didn't think there was a wrong way . Aha, just done a little research and apparently the film side is the outside. I'm sure my OH new that Thanks rossco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
